Holiday Weekend

Whew! It's been a long week. Fortunately, I'm off for the next three days so I should be able to write a few posts including a new travelogue for Djibouti. I just need to make another foray into the wilds for some pictures. Tomorrow, is the Muslim New Year which arrived about eight days after the Western one. I've learned a lot more about the Muslim holidays by living here. In Saudi Arabia, people are aware of all the holidays, but only Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha are celebrated with days off.

About Me

I'm an American whose favorite hobby is traveling. Fortunately, I have a job that allows me to do this extensively. In the last seven years, I have worked and lived in Slovakia, Japan, Djibouti (twice), Afghanistan, Georgia and Taiwan. In the rare moments I venture to the US, I live in San Antonio, Texas.
